A resurfaced video of country music star Miranda Lambert popping a beach ball during a 2019 concert has reignited discussions about artist-fan interactions, especially in light of a recent incident where she paused her Las Vegas residency to address selfie-taking fans.

The 2019 video shows Lambert stopping mid-song to address the beach ball, saying, "I love y'all, but we're not at the damn beach, we're singing country music tonight," as the audience cheered. This incident has drawn comparisons to a more recent event where Lambert interrupted her performance of "Tin Man" to call out fans taking selfies, expressing her frustration and stating, "We're here to hear some country music tonight."

The online reaction to both incidents has been mixed. Some support Lambert's stance, arguing that concertgoers should be more engaged with the performance, while others criticize her actions, suggesting that fans should be allowed to enjoy the experience in their own way, as long as they aren't disruptive. The debate has also brought into focus the differing approaches of other artists, such as Taylor Swift and Harry Styles, who are known for actively engaging with fans and encouraging photos during their shows.

One of the women involved in the recent selfie incident, Adela Calin, has spoken out, describing feeling "appalled" by Lambert's reaction and likening it to being scolded by a teacher. She emphasized that the photo-taking was brief and didn't warrant such a public rebuke.

Lambert's representatives have not yet commented on the resurfaced video, following a previous statement declining to address the Las Vegas incident.
